Lawn and Turf: Blades and Bedknives
We are the world’s largest manufacturer of lawnmower blades and produce these parts in the United States for residential and commercial original equipment manufacturers. We are a leading partner to major brands and do more than supply metal parts. Our metallurgical engineers don’t just produce blades. We work with you throughout the metallurgical process to develop a solution that meets your needs.
Innovative Blade Technologies for Modern Turf Care
We are a residential and commercial mower blade manufacturer and developer with expertise in all types of lawn mowers and blades used across commercial and residential areas, from turf and golf to yards. We produce OEM parts for new machine manufacturing, as well as supply replacement blades that customers can obtain directly from the original manufacturer or dealer.
Electric Mower Blades
Stay at the forefront of technology with blades designed for electric mowers. These blades need to be lighter and thinner with lower lift to run effectively. As a leader in materials science and custom blade design, we’re on the edge of technology. This expertise enables us to meet the needs of new electric mowers. We’re an electric mower blade manufacturer that produces blades that use less battery power while maintaining a high-quality cut.
They are thinner and harder, utilizing a proprietary material to prevent damage when striking objects in the yard. The blades we produce also reduce wear on wings and cutting edges, helping mowers use less energy over time.
High-Performance Reel Mower Bedknives
Reel mowers must provide a consistent surface as turf professionals use them to maintain the most iconic golf courses nationwide. Get the blades you need to ensure your machines provide a pro-level cut each time. Our bedknives serve applications like:
- Greensmower
- Tee box
- Fringe
- Apron knives
- Fairway bedknives
We manufacture reel mower bedknives from materials such as high-carbon alloys and high-strength tool steels, depending on the needs of your application. For example, we can use D2 tool steel for high wear resistance or M2 tool steel for added hardness. Our blades meet your tight-tolerance requirements, with mounting holes that precisely match the holes in mower reels.

Greensmower, Tee Box, Fringe, Apron Knives, and Fairway Bedknives
Original Equipment Replacement Bedknives
As original equipment components, our blades are manufactured to tight tolerances and our mounting holes precisely match mower reels, designed specifically for each application.
D2 Bedknives
For customers looking for better blade toughness and great hardness of 58-60 HRC, Fisher Barton offers a bedknife alternative utilizing D2 tool steel that provides high wear resistance and premium edge-holding ability.
M2 Bedknives
For the best knife edge available, customers can choose Fisher Barton M2 bedknives. An M2 tool steel insert placed on the edge brings hardness from 60-65 HRC, providing customers cutting tool quality to their reel mower application.
Rotary Mower Blades
We produce over 900 unique rotary blades for OEMs each year, demonstrating our capabilities and expertise to serve you. We offer versatility in our designs to meet your application’s needs, from high-lift bagging mowers to mulching blades. We also provide standard side-discharge options.
As a commercial and residential rotary mower blade manufacturer, we produce several unique designs:
- TERMINATOR™: This 3-in-1 blade shreds, bags, and discharges. It has exceptional hardness and produces better cutting results by straightening the grass before cutting. The unique blade design also enables turf managers to mow lawns faster and creates smaller clippings.
- ELIMINATOR®: Our patented design mulches and shreds like no other blade. The blade has a reverse lift that pushes clippings back toward the teeth so they get cut multiple times before the finely cut pieces drop to the surface for discharge or bagging.
Our LaserEdge® Blade Designs
Get premium-quality, precision-engineered performance with our LaserEdge lawn mower blade. We designed this blade with self-sharpening edges. It has an advanced cutting edge, which helps it maintain sharpness longer, reducing the need for blade replacements. The blade is also more resistant to wear, which makes it appealing to both professional landscapers and homeowners. Many manufacturers use this blade for areas with particularly abrasive climates and soil conditions. It also works well for maintaining sharpness when cutting drought-resistant and warm-season grasses.
Our Commitment to Quality Design and Materials
In our pursuit of the highest-quality blades, we have developed several technologies to enhance their performance. These advancements include MARBAIN®, the industry’s hardest, strongest, and longest-lasting material. It results from a patented heat-treating process that provides higher levels of hardness without the brittleness typically associated with higher hardness.
Engineering Partnership: From Prototype to Production
Fisher Barton is more than a lawn mower blade manufacturer. We have the engineering and design expertise to help you develop the ideal blade design for your application. Beyond simply stamping metal blades, we understand and simulate airflow and deck dynamics.
Using this knowledge, we work with you to optimize blade geometries for particular deck designs, such as optimizing lift for a new zero-turn model. Our team can also conduct in-house testing to ensure quality and safety. These tests include bending to check for cracking and impact tests to check for breaks or chipping.
We advance blade designs through our Technology Center. This facility has all the surface engineering capabilities used by our production facilities. It also boasts a team of advanced engineers and technicians that collaborate to develop new products and processes. We perform applied research, create new products, and test metals to verify quality, functionality, and regulatory compliance.
Secure Your Supply Chain With American Manufacturing
At Fisher Barton, we have maintained U.S. manufacturing using American steel for all our lawn mower blades. By keeping production close to home, we maintain the highest quality standards through rigorous testing and alignment with U.S. safety standards. Our manufacturing also improves the supply chain.
